Official title
Marqueurs Pronostiques et prédictifs de réponse Aux Traitements Chez Les Patients Atteints de Cancer Des Voies Biliaires : Cohorte Multicentrique ACABi PRONOBIL
Overview
The objective of this study is to identify prognosis and predictive markers of response to treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy,loco-regional treatments ) in patients with bile duct cancer. The effectiveness and tolerance of these treatments in current practice will also be evaluated.
Detailed description
Bile duct cancers are a heterogeneous group of rare tumors with a poor prognosis. Surgery is the only curative modality for localized forms. Chemotherapy is the standard treatment in advanced forms. Identification of prognostic and predictive markers to better stratify patients and to guide therapeutic decisions is a major issue. It is retro-prospective (diagnosis between 2003 and 2021) and prospective (diagnosis between 2021 and 2030) multi-center, cohort study. Follow-up for 10 years from initial cancer diagnosis will be done.
Follow-up is retrospective only for patients operated on or diagnosed in the past for more than 10 years, and retro-prospective for operated patients or diagnosed in the past for less than 10 years.
The data collected for each patient are available during the life cycle of this clinical trial to fulfil an educational requirement (e.g. a doctoral thesis) upon request and authorization from the study committee and the study sponsor (GERCOR).
Primary outcome measures
- Rate of patients with advanced bile duct cancer (BDC) experiencing overall survival (OS) less than 6 months [Time frame: Up to 10 years from the date of initial cancer diagnosis (or until death if it occurs before 10 years)]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
- Rate of patients with localized bile duct cancer (BDC) experiencing overall survival (OS) less than 6 months [Time frame: Up to 10 years from the date of initial cancer diagnosis (or until death if it occurs before 10 years)]
- Response rate [Time frame: Up to 10 years from the date of initial cancer diagnosis (or until death if it occurs before 10 years)]
- Effect of treatments on secondary resection rate R0 of the primary tumor [Time frame: From day of surgical intervention until 30 days]
- Effects of treatments on disease-free survival (DFS) [Time frame: Up to 10 years; The months between surgery and the first documented recurrence, second cancer, or death from any cause]
- Effects of treatments on progression-free survival (PFS) [Time frame: Up to 10 years; The months between the start of treatment and the first progression or death, whatever be the cause]
- Toxicities (Adverse events) experienced by patients [Time frame: Up to 10 years from the date of initial cancer diagnosis (or until death if it occurs before 10 years)]
- The complications and postoperative mortality rates in patients who underwent surgery [Time frame: From day of surgical intervention until 30 days; up to 10 years]
